Unexpected Guest

Jeffrey was speechless upon seeing this scene, why would the princess of the hex family and two tiers 2 be concerned about a village's destruction?

" Yeah indeed, everyone is discussing it in the town and the surrounding areas, but with your confirmation about seeing that fight, then for sure, the rumors going around are true" Jeffrey casually answered them.

Jeffrey with this news of his did essentially put the two tier 2's at death's door, and Maya in a rage-like state.

" My lord, something happened inside the forest and that's why we sped to your town without delay, hoping that you can help us. But now it seems that help won't be needed and I lost that precious item" Maya revealed her main reason for coming before the appointed schedule with fury and regret showing on her expression.

"What precious item did you lose Maya, and how did you even manage to lose it, explain in detail".

" Well on our way here, I stopped to take a quick bath to relax and have some time alone, but during that bath, and cause of how careless I was for not scanning my surroundings with mana the whole time, my ring got stolen". Maya spoke with difficulty.

" So what, that indeed was careless on your part, but I'll compensate you 10 times what you lost, it's not something you should be angered and sad about" the lord tried consoling Maya.

"Thank you, my lord, I thought all my gold and pills that were for my Cultivation are gone, but thanks to you I'll be able to cultivate with much more speed given the more resources I'll be given " Maya thanked Jeffrey with teary eyes and her anger seemed to dissipate a little.

Jeffrey couldn't help but get enraged inwardly and he almost killed her on the spot, but remembering her family background, he still tried to hold back the urge to do so and proceeded with his act.

' Precious item my ass' Jeffrey thought.

" Yeah yeah, don't worry about it, it's nothing, but what was that reaction of yours after hearing of that village destruction, give me the full events that occurred with you guys "the lord was simply asking out of consideration for Maya's family, but inwardly he was awaiting the moment that she can already be gone from his sight.

' I'm the lord of a whole town and a tier 4 ice mage, and yet this little bitch that will die with a simple wave from my hand is actually blackmailing me in my castle, this is simply courting death' Jeffrey thought while not helping but really consider eliminating this ant in front of him.

Maya was never upset or enraged about whatever was stolen from that ring, she was actually hoping for such a thing to happen all along her journey.

Maya is only the second princess of the hex family which is a tier 3 family, that might indeed look like she's having it easy in life and her obtaining whatever she wants.

However, Maya inside her family was just a thorn in a lot of people's throats, and that's because her older sister was simply way more talented than her.

Even in looks, Maya can't compare to her, much less in Cultivation talent. So all the resources and attention were given to her older sister from the day they found out about her immense talent, and she only gets 20% of the resources, while her older sister gets everything else.

And that's why Maya was already getting married into Jeffrey's family. That's of course so her sister can finally get all the resources for herself.

20% of resources might look trivial, but in fact, that's all the resources a tier 2 family can bestow for their young talents to cultivate with, so it's not by any means a small amount.

So Maya used the stolen ring for her own benefit, so she can obtain way more resources from Jeffrey since a tier 4 family is still way stronger than a tier 3 family.

So she took the risk to try and heap as much as she could on her stay here from the get-go, cause she will for sure only be used to give birth and not actually be nurtured in Cultivation.

Maya needs power so she can control her fate, or at least have the right to speak in her new family. And to get more power, she needs to increase her Cultivation base and to increase her Cultivation base, she needs resources, and that's what led to all of this.

Jeffrey of course is knowledgeable about her situation, but he would have rathered for Maya to ask him directly for more resources, and not actually use this cheap trick.

It's considered blackmailing cause she was robbed on her way to his family, so he will for sure have to compensate her, and the other reason Is cause Jade forest is the territory of serene town.

So Maya is basically saying since I got robbed on my way here and inside of your territory, then you should compensate me for it, or else I'll spread the news.

" My lord, we were asking about that village, cause the one who stole the ring is from there, and he is probably tier 2 or more given the fact that I couldn't even see him doing it".

Maya was indeed not using her mana, but she was still tier 1 and her senses are greatly enhanced, so for her not to hear or see anything, only means that the other party is stronger than her.

And given the fact that her tier 2 bodyguards didn't feel anything, then that means he is as well stronger than them.

If that tier 2 warrior knew that the culprit was actually Mike and that he wasn't even tier 1, he will for sure suicide out of embarrassment.

The reason why they didn't feel Mike despite his low tier, was mainly cause of his invisibility skill, stronger people than Mike can indeed sense or see him if they focus on the area around them, but those two tiers 2 were just normally scouting the area with mana and not really searching for someone, so he went unnoticed.

" Yeah well, simply forget that it happened since everyone from that village is dead for sure, bu,".

The Lord was talking, when he suddenly felt an aura around the castle that wasn't a bit weaker than him.

" Who is it, you actually dare to step into my palace without permission, are you that eager to die? " Jeffrey bellowed with rage, instantly appearing tens of meters above the trio.

" You only felt that I was around the moment I purposely leaked some of my aura, and yet you dare to say that you will kill me? Jeffrey are you still that reckless? " An aged voice sounded in the throne room.

Followed by the aged voice, a figure appeared in mid-air, as he has always been there but simply no one noticed his existence.

He was an old man that had all his hair, beard, and long eyebrows white, his face was full of wrinkles and his eyes were dark and hollow, almost appearing like he have one leg in the grave.

" Romeo that's actually you, no wonder you dared to barge in like that, even if you had ill intentions, no one in this town will be able to stop you anyway. why did you come here so suddenly without informing me beforehand".

Hearing Jeffrey's words, the trio down below heaved a deep sigh of relief, cause if anything unexpected happens and a fight breaks out, the first casualty here will be them, since they were obviously the weakest and just by some aftermath damage they will die even if Two of them are tier 2.

" Haha, I'm but an old man right now, I don't deserve such high regard, given the time, you will catch up to me and even surpass me, so don't put much thought into it little boy" Romero nonchalantly said to Jeffrey.

" However, before we go to the subject of why I came here so suddenly, let's first talk about that little girl over there" Romeo looked at Maya with some pity showing in his eyes.

Jeffrey was a little taken aback by what Romeo said but he still played along with it, " what about my son's fiance, Romeo".

" And that's why I work for my organization, having every information sent to you about almost everything in the world is simply amazing, it's just sad that I'm still weak and can't access any useful information yet" Romeo casually spoke, but regret and sadness can be detected in his voice.

"Well, I'm not surprised that you know a lot of things, given the fact that you are an outer elder for the Immortal Paijin organization, which has its roots spread into all the continent. Your organization as well have built all the auctions in every city on the whole continent " Jeffrey answered the old man, but envy and reverence were written all over his face.
